Appena uscito il bando del nuovo Dottorato Nazionale in Scienze Polari con 33 borse di dottorato offerte da un consorzio di 20 Università (inclusa UNIVPM) ed Enti di ricerca. Dedicato ai futuri ricercatori/trici di questi ambienti fragili ed estremi. unive.it/web/it/2191/ba…

A new threat is being overlooked: the interaction between climate change and infectious diseases. A paper just published in Science reveals that climate change could aggravate >50% human pathogens. And, unfortunately, this is happening now. science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

My heart filled with absolute happiness, excitement and honors to join the very first #seagrass plantation in Israel 🤩 Rewilding Israel's Mediterranean Coast with Seagrasses - An amazing project from The Seagrass Lab The Seagrass Lab in collaboration with the Belmaker Lab (TAU)

Microplastics may float higher in Earth’s atmosphere than previously thought, posing a risk that they might release chemicals that damage the ozone layer. newscientist.com/article/239149… Via New Scientist

Just published a new paper: "Bioaccumulation and biomagnification of heavy metals in marine micro-predators". We show that tiny nematodes biomagnify pollutants and transfer the contaminants from the environment to larger organisms. nature.com/articles/s4200…
